Less talk, more grog.

The holidays! That warm feeling inside… a glow of peaceful contentment… your heart open to fellowship with your fellow human beings.Of course, we’re talking about alcohol.Then there’s the rest of it. All that time spent sitting around with semi-distant relations, straining to think of something, anything to say that won’t shatter the uneasy holiday truce. There are only so many times you can watch It’s A Wonderful Life and A Christmas Story and Elf, only so many hours of the NBA and the NHL you can sit through. Then what?Why not the great equalizer: booze?Use these Bormioli barware sets to try out some new cocktails, highballs, and beers at your family festivities this season. Aside from the obvious benefits, it will also give you something to talk about that’s a million miles away from Obamacare and gun control, Benghazi and Starbucks cups.Love of a good drink cuts across all political ideologies, all doctrinal differences, all of the ephemeral controversies of the day. It unites people of all colors, creeds, persuasions, and ages. (OK, not quite all ages.) And for those teetotalers among you, these real Italian glass vessels also hold virgin eggnog and Shirley Temples.The secret to a harmonious, controversy-free Christmas is to keep your minds busy with something else. Just in case, let’s keep your mouths busy, too.
